Hurricane Ridge Road Details
Hurricane Ridge Road provides your easiest access to Olympic's high country. The road is open 24 hours a day from mid-May through mid-autumn, and the park service does its best to keep the road open all winter, as well, though snowstorms do sometimes force the road to close. During winter the road is only open from 9 a.m. to dusk, and you'll need to have tire chains in your car.
